Evidence of Crooked Racing
Secured Against Turfmen
IX)S ANGELES. Jan. =s.—Prompt
«nd severe was the action of the Ascot
Park officials today in connection with
•he crooked racing of the horse Ueund
I 'ancs
Jockry Kmt, one or tho brst known
vidors in the coutitrr. and Trainer and
owner C Morton, who wa* connected
Sfil t! '* etable ot .T. Cooper, were
ruled off the track. The notice of the
decision in the casr. which was posted
in the paddock today liy Prp«i<iing
Judge A. W. Hamilton, is couched in
t<M-ms that indicate that both men are
ruled oJT for life.
According to the evidence In the
hands of the officials, oef ore the action
wa* t*ken. Kent bought the hor*e
Round Dajice in New Tork ltat turn
mer and brought it out to race at
A«cot, entering it under the name of
i . Morton. as< owner, when as a mat
ter of Tact. Kent himself owned the
animal. He retained the ownership
of the horse until it was recently
claimed out of a selling race by Mrs
R. I. Miller.
It la charged, and the records bear
out the charge, that while Kent wen
still the owner of the horse, on Jan
wary 4. Round Danes won a race at
long odds against the favorite Su
sannah and the second choice Virginia
lx>rralne. Kent waa up on Susannah.
When these fact* were presented to
the Judges they took time to Investi
gate thoroughly, and having found
everything aa alleged, the order ruling
Kent end Morton off tha track was
posted.
Kent denies that he owned the horse
• t the time stated and says that he
hopes there will be & complete inves
tigation, as he is confident that he
will be cleared of the charges against
him. The action of the judges came as
a complete eurprlse to the followers
of the game.
Because of the action of the judges
in refusing to allow Jockey Preston
to ride Tartan in the fourth race,
Harry Brolaski scratched the horse.
This action of the judges was taken
because Curl, who has second call on
the services of Preston, had entered
Chimney Sweep in the same race. It
was the first time the line had been
drawn tight, as several other Jockeys
have been allowed to ride under simi
3ar conditions. Johnny Bullman rides
for the Walsh stable, but when he has

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALU SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1907.
COLEGIANS WILL
SOLVE KNOTTY
PROBLEMS
The delegates of. the University of
California and of; Stanford will as
semble tonight at -the Palace Hotel
to frame tho intercollegiate agreement
which will govern the relations of the
two rival Institutions for the coming
year of sports. The meeting will be
one of the most important held in some
time by the representatives of the uni
versity athletes.
It would seem from the reports
emanating from the rival student ex
ecutive committees that the delegates
will appear upon, the field with their
opinions well nxed. For the first time
In the annals of the intercollegiate
agreement the letter of the law will
be put to tho test. The April disaster
caused the postponement of the final
athletic contests of the spring semester
and as a result the dates of the field
days and boating contests will have to
be regulated.
The cardinal delegates will appear
with an ironclad policy laid down by
their undergraduate constituents. Stan
ford will take a firm stand upon all
matters and. It Is claimed, will, go as
far as to cause a deadlock if matters
are not favorably adjusted. The ath
letes and followers of athletics at the
Palo Alto institution believe that in
all former little tilts with the dele
gates from Berkeley the Stanford men
have received a shade the worst of the
decisions. The rooters have also an
ax to grind, as they have repeatedly
been forced rnto the hot sun at cer
tain contests with the blue and gold.
To overcome any loss In the past the
Stanford delegation will stand "pat."
The all important question of
whether the students shall indorse
Rugby or stand out for the old game
will come up for consideration. It is
anticipated that Rugby will be the
game to be played in 1907, despite any
efforts the /students may make, and
that the committee may take this stand
and comply with the higher powers. If
the decision is in the affirmative for
Rugby the date of the match will then
come up for settlement. It Is expected
this will be changed to a week later
than at present and the freshmen con
test moved back correspondingly. The
Stanford campus will be the scene of
the next varsity contest, and in case
Rugby is played the cardlnal'grldlron
will be widened. The students have
anticipated and have let the contracts
for this change.
On the coming track meet the great
est.clash of the meeting is expected.
The meft was scheduled to be held
on the Stanford campus and was only
prevented by the April earthquake.
As the intercollegiate agreement calls
for meets to be held alternately on
the rival university grounds, irrespec
tive of years, the Stanford trio will
stand out for the contest on the new
Stanford' track, which has been re
cently built. If Berkeley does not
comply there will be no meet between
the two universities. The handicap of
a strange track is held to be* con
siderable by the collegians and Is
counted as good for at least five or six
points in a meet where the compe
tition Is close.
The freshmen track meet will also
fall to Stanford according to the
agreement.
Tho boating question Is not expected
to start any squabble. The two uni
versities will probably agree upon
Richardson's Bay as the course and
eight-oar shells to be used, with a race
of second team men in fours." The
freshmen will also row. If Berkeley
stands out for the course on . the Oak
land estuary a fight will ensue. This
is not anticipated.
Dates for the baseball games will be
named and, the question of the grounds
for the final game in case a series of
three games is necessary will be dis
cussed. The collegians will play only
on some neutral field in the decisive
game.
BERKELEY, Jan. 25. — Graduate Man
ager Snedlgar of the Associated Stu
dents of the University said today that
Stanford's ultimatum about holding the
track meet at Palo ,Alto will not affect
the status of the affair. The meet will
be held at Berkeley, Snedigar declares,
according to the terms of the Intercol
legiate agreement, which provides that
the meet shall be held at each univer
sity in alternate years. Berkeley had
the meet two years ago and is due to
be chosen as the scene of \the event
this spring. • /
RAISES A ROW IN
HOTEL LOBBY
Because Percy Van Dyck, clerk In
the Majestic Hotel, refused to hand
over another man's, letter on demand,
J. P. Rittenhouse. reputed to be a min
ing man of Goldfleld, who arrived at
the hostelry two weeks ago. 'became
boisterous in the lobby of the hotel
and brought an emphatic request for
his departure.
Incensed that the management In
sisted upon the prompt payment of a
bill for one week's be>«rd. Rittenhouse
entered the hotel yesterday afternoon
in a mood to ralso a disturbance, but
at the conclusion of his interview with
Van Dyck and *Chlef Clerk R. H. Gat
ley he took his baggage in tow and
departed. .
At the end "••f-laat.vre.ek Gatley, ac
cording to custom, sent Rlttenhouse
a bill for the week's lodging. This
bill and a second was ignored, and
yesterday Gatley had Rlttenhouse's
baggage removed to the storeroom in
default of payment and locked up the
room he had occupied.
- Rittenhouse appeared and requested
a letter addressed to another man.
Van Dyck refused to hand it over, and
in a rage the delinquent guest ap
pealed to Gatley. who sustained Van
Dyck's action. Rittenhouse then de
manded his bill and was Informed that
It had been rendered twice. After
raging up and down the office for sev
eral minutes the disgruntled mining
man settled the bill and removed his
effects from the hotel.

Horsemen Predict that Maddens Salvidere
Will Be King of the Three -Year- Olds
In a, roomy paddock at John E. Mad
dens Hamburg place down in Fayette
County, in the far famed bluegrass
State, a chestnut thoroughbred is kick
ing up his aristocratic heels these days
in an ecstacy of delight. This Is Salvi
dere, the Invincible, all-conquering son
of Belvldere-Sallie of Navarre, which
the cleverest horsemen in America are
predicting will be the. champion three
year-old of this year. They base this
broad assertion upon the record of the
youngster in his two-year-old form and
upon the further fact that he is winter
ing famously.
He has Increased In weight some 200
pounds and has filled out and let down
to a remarkable degree. He was for
merly light in the barrel and flanks, but
now he is fat and rounded. He has im
proved so much that It would take, an
expert to recognize him at the present
time unless he has seen him since he
won his races so impressively In the
HOSPITAL AROUSED
BY FIRE OF GUNS
Consternation rejgned at the Gen
eral Hospital at the Presidio on
Thursday night, when volley after vol
ley of shots were. fired at the different
buildings that compose that big cara
vansary.
The first bombardment struck the
windows of wards C.and D. The glass
was shattered and the patients in these
wards leaped from their beds and
rushed Into the inclosure in the cen
ter of the hospital.
A second volley struck the quarters
of Colonel G. H. Torney and he rushed
out into the- driveway and called for
the guards. The hospital was soon in
an uproar.
The soldiers charged down In the
direction from which the shots had
come and there, to their amazement,
they saw a lot of pothunters squatted
down by the Presidio marsh and blaz
ing away at wild ducks.
The moon was giving just enough
light through the clouds to admit of
good marksmanship, but the pothunt
ers apparently had taken no account*
of the distance their guns would carry.
When they saw the troops come dash
ing across the grounds they threw
down their gunS and made a great
sprint to get out of the reservation.
The soldiers fired several shots into
the air to frighten the intruders, but
they refused to stop in their mad flight
and all managed to escape.
As Colonel Torney with his troopers
returned from the scene of action 4 he
slowly quoted to himself Tennyson's
poem, using the lines, "Stormed .at
with shot and shell."
The damage done to the hospital
building was slight, but the shooting
played havoc with the nerves of many
of the patients.

endurance, he has developed enormous

Salvidere is in a degree a chance
horse and Is a living example of the un
certainties of breeding racehorses. He
was" bred by the late Captain S. S.
Brown, the . Plttsburg turfman, who
owned his dam, Sallie of Navarre. The
latter had been a failure in the stud,
but her owner was prevailed upon, to
breed her to Belvidere. Salvidere was
the result of this union and he was far
from being a' promising youngster as a
yearling.
He was a disappointment !n looks and
in his early trials failed to show any
great turn of speed. .In addition he de
veloped weak ankles and was a source
of much annoyance to his trainer, Rob
ert Tucker. Salvidere attracted the at
tention of that shrewd horseman, John
E. Madd«n, who pronounced him a horse
of marked quality. In his maiden effort
CORPSE LIES FOR
HOURS IN MUD
From 3:15 yesterday afternoon t untll
after dark the body of James Contop
olos, a young Greek, lay in the mud In
Fourth street, near Howard, a dirty
cement sack covering the head. Con
topolos had, been killed by a fellow
Greek named Constantlne M. Carrlonas,
after the latter had been attacked, he
says/by a party of five men, of which
Contopolos was one. Behind the kill
ing is a story of a saloon row among
the men from Athens.
The dead man was ' apparently a
laborer; a gambler, his slayer says.
Hundreds, of persons stood in the
street gazing with morbid fascination
at the corpse, but no conveyance came
from the morgue to take the body
away. At the Southern police station,
a block distant, where the slayer was
held, was a patrol wagon, but in the
division of labor of the city it is not
the function of a patrol wagon to re
move dead bodies, no matter how long
they may lie in the mud on a" busy
street. J
Several policemen stood guard over
the corpse and when small boys would
grow too inquisitive they would be re
moved without ceremony.
According to the story told by the
man who did the killing he is a cook
and intended shortly to s open a res
taurant in Market street. . He says
that on Sunday last he w*as in a sa
loon run by a Greek named Nick and
had some trouble with the proprietor.
He withdrew his patronage from the
place and Nick sought to have re- 1 ,
venge, for Carrlonas, he himself says,
was a generous customer. Yesterday
afternoon about 3 o'clock Carrlonas
was drinking in > a saloon at \u25a0: Fourth
and Tehama streets when c Contopolos
and four companions, all ,• friends of
Nick, it is alleged, entered.and a row
was started. V :,
The entire party left the saloon and
went into the street, where the fight
was continued. "A man with a red
mustache drew a knife and, was going
to -stab me in the neck from behind
and , this man I shot grabbed me by
my arm," continued Carrionas dramat
ically. "Then I pulled my pistol and
shot, or 'I would \u25a0, have been killed.
They were bad men — gamblers and
that sort. I— l am an honest man. How
old do you think I am— 32?—- no, I am
26; my gray hair? That comes because
I am honest."
Policemen H. Murray and P. ,"J.
Tracy arrested/ the slayer of Contopo
los and took him to the Southern;sta
tion. There his . partner, John Delvis,
conferred with him. Delvis, who ; wit
nessed the shooting, could give no '; par
ticulars of the trouble, butl corrobo
rated the story of the attack made
upon Carrlonas with a knife.
The police are searching for the men
who were with Contopolos when he
met his death. - . ' \u25a0\u25a0>. • ;

Salvidere closed up a gap of six lengths
on Fountainblue through the short
stretch at Brighton Beach.
This performance so impressed Mad
den that when the gelding was offered
at' auction he secured him for $3700.
Under the. care of the noted Kentucky
trainer the great tv/o-year-old never
suffered defeat, placing nearly J30.000
to the credit of his owner. Madden,de
tected Salvidere's weak points, his an
kles and feet, soon after he had him in
his barn. He fitted him with a set ot
aluminum plates, which relieved much
of the pressure and pain on the hoofs.
Salvidere has been entered in the
Suburban and the Brighton handicaps,
which Indicates that Madden and T.
Hitchcock Jr., who own him. believe
that he can hold his own with Burgo
master and the other aged horses in
the handicap division. Should he per
form up to their expectations he •will
be entitled to rank with the mighty
Hamburg, which is the highest praise
that can be given him.

MARRIAGE LICENSE
IS EVASIVE
Louis Joseph Kloepfer, 42 years old,
and the accepted fiance of pretty 17
, year-old Emily Cecilia Borbrack, has
encountered more obstacles in" his at
tempt to get married than he ever en
countered, even during the battle for
Miss Borbrack'a heart. For three days
he has been making persistent and
determined efforts to secure a marriage
; license in proper form, but is still
minus that important bit of paper.
Kloepfer's first appearance at the
marriage license office waa on Wednes
day morning, when he arrived, serene,
smiling and happy, and armed with a
note from Miss Borbrack'a mother, con
taining the latter"s consent to the wed
ding. But Kloepfer was alone. He
did not know that it was necessary
for both bride and groom to appear
in person, and was told that he must
return for his sweetheart.
Ruffled slightly by his mistake, "but
still confident, Kloepfer returned. Ha
had misunderstood the instructions,
however, and when he reappeared at"
the license bureau in the afternoon it
was with the girl's mother, and not the
girl, accompanying him. ' The consent
blank was made out and the instruc
tions given him this time were explicit.
Miss Borbrack must appear at the of
fice.
Early Thursday morning: the pros
pective bride and groom were on hand,
and theirs was the first license of the
day to be made out. Kloepfer doffed
his coat while he signed his name in
an endeavor to make doubly sure there
should be no mistake on that score.
But the god of bad luck was still hov
j ering over the lover 3. Since the death
lof her own father Miss Borbrack haa
been known to all her acquaintances as
Emily Cecilia Johnson, she having;
adopted the name of her stepfather.
This was the name she signed on the
license.
Yesterday the mistake was discov
ered and Kloepfer was again on hand
at the license office, asking to have the
discrepancy rectified. The clerk was
willing, but again Kloepfer had failed
to bring his anxiously awaiting bride
with him, and the ceremony has been
postponed until after still another trip
Is made today.
PATSB DISCOVERS A ROCK
Captain H. T. Payne, master of the
